Borderland Battles
This book argues that borderlands intensify security threats at the conflict-crime nexus. It demonstrates the multiple insecurities that arise from complex interactions among rebels, criminals, and other violent non-state groups. Challenging urban biases and state-centric views, it draws on unprecedented multi-year fieldwork in the war-torn marginalized Colombian-Ecuadorian and Colombian-Venezuelan borderlands.
Titian Remade
This insightful volumes the use of imitation and the modern cult of originality through a consideration of the disparate fates of two Venetian painters - the canonised master Titian and his artistic heir, the little-known Padovanino.
La frontera caliente entre Colombia y Venezuela
Análisis sobre la violencia en la frontera entre Colombia y Venezuela ha aumentado descomunalmente en los últimos años. Treinta mil homicidios en una década, un millón de galones de combustibles ilegal transportados cada año y la captura de decenas de narcotraficantes, paramilitares y guerrilleros son algunas de estas cifras.
A Companion to the Early Modern Cardinal
A Companion to the Early Modern Cardinal is the first comprehensive overview of its subject in English or any language. Cardinals are best known as the pope’s electors, but in the centuries from 1400 to 1800 they were so much more: pastors, inquisitors, diplomats, bureaucrats, statesmen, saints; entrepreneurs and investors; patrons of the arts, of music, literature, and science. Thirty-five essays explain their social background, positions and roles in Rome and beyond, and what they meant for wider society. This volume shows the impact which those men who took up the purple had in their respective fields and how their tenure of office shaped the entangled histories of Rome and the Catholic Church from a European and global perspective.
The Cambridge History of Fifteenth-Century Music
Through forty-five creative and concise essays by an international team of authors, this Cambridge History brings the fifteenth century to life for both specialists and general readers. Combining the best qualities of survey texts and scholarly literature, the book offers authoritative overviews of central composers, genres, and musical institutions as well as new and provocative reassessments of the work concept, the boundaries between improvisation and composition, the practice of listening, humanism, musical borrowing, and other topics. Multidisciplinary studies of music and architecture, feasting, poetry, politics, liturgy, and religious devotion rub shoulders with studies of compositional techniques, musical notation, music manuscripts, and reception history. Generously illustrated with figures and examples, this volume paints a vibrant picture of musical life in a period characterized by extraordinary innovation and artistic achievement.
Fronteras rojas
La guerra en Colombia vista desde sus fronteras. Las fronteras de un país dicen mucho sobre la sociedad que lo conforma. En estos bordes sensibles el conflicto echa raíces con facilidad, es allí donde se provee y se mimetiza, donde se fortalece y crea leyes propias. En ausencia del Estado aparecen formas de organización, lógicas y relaciones que son el corazón mismo de la guerra. Annette Idler ha logrado entender la complejidad de los territorios transfronterizos, y su original investigación se convierte en una alternativa al trajinado enfoque de centro-periferia, para el que estos lugares inhóspitos tienen poco que decir sobre nuestra realidad política y social. Con Fronteras rojas, Idler abre una nueva dimensión para comprender la guerra y buscar la paz

Science Breakthroughs to Advance Food and Agricultural Research by 2030
For nearly a century, scientific advances have fueled progress in U.S. agriculture to enable American producers to deliver safe and abundant food domestically and provide a trade surplus in bulk and high-value agricultural commodities and foods. Today, the U.S. food and agricultural enterprise faces formidable challenges that will test its long-term sustainability, competitiveness, and resilience. On its current path, future productivity in the U.S. agricultural system is likely to come with trade-offs. The success of agriculture is tied to natural systems, and these systems are showing signs of stress, even more so with the change in climate. More than a third of the food produced is uncons...
